Super Bowl hero (but not MVP) Malcolm Butler gets new truck
NORWOOD, Mass. (AP) - Malcolm Butler has intercepted the delivery of Tom Brady's new truck.
Brady earned the prize for winning the Super Bowl MVP for the third time. He led the Patriots to a 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in this year's game.
But New England didn't clinch the win until Butler intercepted a pass at the goal line in the closing minute. And Brady said he would give the truck to Butler, who was an undrafted rookie.
Butler took delivery of the shiny red truck at a Boston-area dealership on Tuesday afternoon.
